A/C fan on constantly...anyone else???
I have noticed that what appears to be the A/C fan is on pretty much all the time the car is iddle. The only time it's not on is when the A/C is turned off.
I had not noticed this when the temperature was cooler. Is this normal??
I'm in Dallas @ 85F.
Thanks.

If your climate control is set to AUTO, the A/C will cycle on and off depending on the temperature within the car. That's the way it keeps your temperature at a reasonable level.

So, is the A/C constantly running? Is this possibly why I have a puddle of water under my car that I've recently noticed? Bought my TL in December and I have not had the opportunity to use the A/C yet (live in NH).... I always felt that the compressor was on.... I have all the controls turned to off..... I'm sooo confused!

Your gas mileage may suffer just a bit with the A/C on, but more likely short trips and city/town driving will really push the numbers down.

Down here in Texas, I always have the A/C set to on. I don't know that I've ever turned it off in any car I've ever driven. Even in the winter I leave it on and just turn the temp all the way up to generate heat. I still need the A/C on to keep the windows from fogging up in the high humidity we have here. However in the TL, I've been using the AUTO setting. This is the first car that I've owned that has had that feature. It's pretty nice.

Yes, it's nice and maybe never have paid attention but this seems to be ON and LOUDER than in any other car that I've been in.
Maybe it's just too freaking hot here in Dallas!!!
